Shower idea capture with Crayola Bathtub Crayons

If you're like me you get some of your best ideas in the shower. I need a way to offload those ideas so new brilliant ones can take their place. That's the thing about good ideas -- they take up so much brainspace that they leave no room for the new ones trying to get in.

One way to offload these ideas for later processing is to write them down. This is often a problem in showers, most of which are not equipped with diver's notepads. So head over to your local Wal-Mart and buy a pack of Crayola Bathtub Crayons. You can then write on the shower walls whenever brilliant ideas strike you (and they will!).

I did it with my children. My home semmed to be in ruins. I told them: Make some decorative draws!! So they drew on te walls all theirs ideas. It was wonderful!! When we leave tat house, we took som photos of them. Ideas and art go together!!!

Actually these days I'm using something different for capturing ideas in the shower. I use a waterproof notebook (Rite In The Rain brand, which I picked up in an art-supply store). No mess to clean up, and it's easier to read (you can use a regular pencil or a mechanical pencil).

My wife and I are also hard core shower thinkers. We use AquaNotes a waterproof notepad for the shower. They also have an Aqua LoveNotes pad. The same concept with a red pencil for leaving love notes. You can order on-line…havent seen them in stores yet. http://www.myaquanotes.com
